Hey guys (and Trent):

I just purchased a nice, new development laptop but decided to have a mfgr. install Windows 8 64-bit instead of paying $150 extra for them to add Windows 7 64-bit onto it.  I've read what Trent said about having to tweak Win8 a bit (permissions) to get VS2012/StrataFrame to work ... I was just wondering if someone could give me a heads up if StrataFrame/VS2012 will actually work ... and also a clue as to the nature/how of the tweaks I'll have to make so as to make my passage a little more easy.

Thanks,

All went well but there is one small issue. I use devexpress v12.2 and using that version I have updated MicroFour StrataFrame Inherited UI. When I drag and drop any control from StrataFrame DevExpress Wrapper and run the form I am getting  the following error"An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details.  The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
